361.8 million in 2016) and operating profit is expected to be above 10% (11.2%

The main reasons behind the improved net sales outlook is better than estimated
progress in Business Premises and Housing service areas. Business Premises
projects have progressed faster than estimated and finalisation of some own
developed Housing projects in year 2017 has been assured.
